Chapman and Maclain Way’s energetic telling of one of baseball’s great, unheralded stories is as much about independent spirit as it is about the game. When Portland, Oregon, lost its longtime minor-league affiliate, Bing Russell—who briefly played ball professionally before enjoying a successful Hollywood acting career—bought the territory and formed a single-A team to operate outside the confines of major-league baseball. When they took the field in 1973, the Mavericks—the only independent team in America—started with two strikes against them. What did Deputy Clem from Bonanza know about baseball? Or Portland, for that matter? The only thing uniting his players, recruited at open tryouts, was that no other team wanted them. Skeptics agreed that it could never work.
But Bing understood a ballplayer’s dreams, and he understood an audience. His quirky, unkempt castoffs won games, and they won fans, shattering minor-league attendance records. Their spirit was contagious, and during their short reign, the Mavericks—a restaurant owner turned manager, left-handed catcher, and blackballed pitcher among them—brought independence back to baseball and embodied what it was all about: the love of the game.

论一部剧情简单的西部剧为何拍的这么有嚼劲，归根结底角色人物塑造成功对于一部电影是多么重要！国内就是差这个
6 从《逃狱三王》到《巴斯特歌谣》老亨利突然严肃起来还真有点不习惯，见得可塑性非常强。中规中矩西部片。
玩过大表哥，场景服装感觉很亲切。
西部版《我和我的家乡》+《我和我的父辈》。一个女性角色都没有。就是稳准狠，把西部片最吸引男性观众的元素全部提炼了出来，也顺便把女性观众和娘炮踢的远远的。
片子足够完整，但是都普普通通，而且极其老套。感觉就像是看了部几十年之前的美国西部片的重映版。
善与恶，爱与死，在2天的故事线里被完美展现。贪婪的本性制造出故事线，父子间束缚的父爱与对自由的渴望冲突，创造了关键节点。通过对话和事件导演干净利落的刻画了老亨利的不为人知的另一面。
nobody 是 somebody 的西部版本
老派西部片，简单的故事但很工整，枪战也很真实
Billy the old man no country to rest
全片简洁不拖沓，最后的枪战有种回到老西部片的感觉。不过西部片真的没落了，也只能挖些老素材拍了。
虽然我没在江湖，但江湖一直流传着我的传说。
始终没有看懂会议烧房子是怎么回事
巧了，刚看完隐姓埋名做裁缝的黑老大，又来了死而复生几十年的billy the kid，这种藏在人群中的绝世高手确实能满足天下普通人的英雄梦。
一般传闻他21岁时在新墨西哥Summer Fort被Garret警探射杀，这个片中Curry也讲到了。
这么怀念比利小子？让他起死回生再大战一场？炒的冷饭中规中矩，惜乎没有以往西部片的感觉了，豪情？勇敢？
简单粗暴的绝世神枪手，就喜欢这样的比利小子。
Old Henry has a gun, 砰、砰、砰砰砰！ 完～
前面漫长的铺垫，甚至都感觉不到紧张，最后二十分钟突然达到高峰，手起人倒干净利落，结局令人唏嘘，还是没明讲老亨利的过往，更令人好奇背后的故事。
黑吃黑的一窝匪遇到隐匿多年的孤胆老枪手，人多势众依旧干不过艺高胆大老家伙，印象中这才是那边经典硬汉片…🤠
节奏太喜欢了 特别棒的沉默寡言的柔情故事男的西部Home Defense的故事
